Ramsey, until very recently, was the second-largest town on the island, with 7,322 inhabitants in 2001, compared with 4,642 in 1931. It has a wonderful setting on the 10-mile sweep of Ramsey Bay, whose sandy shoreline extends north to the Point of Ayre. The town functions as a coastguard and lifeboat station, as well as a small port for the north of the island. Ramsey also hosts several annual sporting and cultural events, and is a popular destination for tourists. |
